Best 1.4 TFSi TSi Mods & Upgrades [Seat, Audi, VW, Skoda Tuning Guide]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 гру 2022
- After redesigning the EA111, the VAG group released the successful but occasionally problematic twincharged 1.4 TFSi engine.
Recent 1.4 TSi and TFSi are gorgeous engines that perform exceptionally well.
As I gain more experience with my new A3, which is powered by the EA211 1.4 TFSi engine, I will add to this page with my observations and suggestions and will put up a new video for the EA111 EA211 and EA211 EVO versions when I have established the best tuning mods for them each.
The EA211 engine is the result of extensive development and testing; it is significantly lighter than its predecessors thanks to extensive weight reduction measures and features only a single IHI turbocharger. The later EA211 was further revised and this gen3 engine has quite a few revisions, many of which are not covered in this video including a cam which is factory pressed into the head so this makes cam upgrades near impossible.
Aluminium is used for the block and cylinder head, whereas cast iron is used for the liners. By opting for a die-forged crankshaft and connecting rods, we were able to expand the stroke to 80 mm while decreasing the cylinder bore by 2 mm, resulting in an engine that is more torquey and can handle the stresses of forced induction.
Although its power output is lower than its predecessor's, the car's responsiveness and sense of power are greatly enhanced by its light weight (just over 100 kilograms).
The EA211's digital inputs have replaced the analogue ones, and the engine is controlled by a Bosh MED17 ECU powered by an Infineon Tricore CPU.
EA211 Engine Upgrades That Really Work
When it comes to cost effective mods then for the money, remapping is the best option, however aftermarket ECUs and piggyback ECUs are also viable substitutes.
While fast road cams are one of the most noticeable mechanical upgrades, they are also one of the most difficult to obtain; nevertheless, you may be able to find a local company that will regrind your factory camshaft.
Note that intake and exhaust mods, by themselves, will NOT ADD POWER in most circumstances, but can aid boost power after other mods have been applied by removing the restriction.
Forced induction, which may be achieved by upgrading turbochargers and superchargers, is the most effective method of increasing air supply, so allowing you to use more fuel and produce more power. It's a high-priced addition but well worth it because of the benefits you'll reap.
Porting and flowing the head are two methods used to increase the flow of air into the engine and decrease the amount of resistance to that air's passage.
Improvements to the intercooler will have a number of positive effects, especially on turbocharged engines that benefit from having the intercooler placed near the front of the vehicle.

I have stage 1 Unitronic on my 2016 Jetta 1.4. I also got a new intake, as you said it probably does very little. But the sound! holy crap I can hear induction and turbo blow off so clearly.
Just stumbled upon your channel. Great video!! Full of interesting details. 👏
Welcome aboard and thanks for the support my friend!
Fantastic information buddy 😮
Cracking channel, very informative. Just bought a tsi and looking forward to watching more.
Just to add, thanks for the ind epth & decent description in this video (and more if so, I don't always read) =)
I own a Peugheot 208 GTI myself now but still good read/research on other engines/cars & mods affectes on them I think :)
Cheers mate, thanks for your support. The general principles of tuning are pretty much the same between cars. Things that alter the approach slightly are turbos, diesel fuel and the typical RPM range and power band. I just wish I could push out all the videos I want to, but time is not on my side and I want to offer quality over quantity.
@@torquecars Quality > Quantity I think most would agree here for videos of this content :)
Look forward to the next one!
Just what I've been looking for. Thank you One Punch Man . I salute !!!
2019 VW Jetta in Canada 1.4 CZTA.
I got the APR stage one tune (remap) in the summer of 2022.
APR claims 171 wheel hp and 255 ft/lbs of wheel torque. Up from 147whp - 185wtq
I believe it, the car pulls a lot more! I am very happy with the improvement. As an aside my fuel economy has remained the same unless I thrash it.
Cost me 500 CAN all in.
Best of luck.
Where did you get it from?
Another great video. Thumbs up
Thanks for the support my friend once again.
I myself bought my Seat Leon SC 1.4TSI ACT new back in 2015. VAG engine codes EA211/CZEA. My "mods":
- K&N panel air filter
- Silicone intake piping (MST Performance) between filter housing and turbo
- Intake behind grille opened up directly in front of the filter housing feeding tube
All the above make for even less turbo lag, significantly cooler intake temps, and letting off the gas makes the car almost sound like it's a dragon breathing down your neck from the outside.
- Milltek resonated catback system
- Catch can installed in between the cylinder head breather tube
- Stage 1 engine remap done @±97.000km --> 193bhp / 327Nm
- Stage 2+ DSG remap for healthier, stronger shifts, better response, and nicer driveability
Car now has 110.000km and healthy as ever.
Hi mate I'm fairly new to the whole car thing. I noticed u wrote dsg so automatic, what if I wanted a manual model, are all the exact mods still applicable?
link to the mst intake piping?
@@icecold4085 except the dsg tune, yes
Hi Glenn. Did you have any issues with your ACT after the remap?
Good info good video. Got 7yo ibiza FR with 1.2 TSI EA211 - only regular oil changes and map sensor cleaned as it was throwing car in to limp mode on 4th on full throttle.
Remap by local reputable tuner to 140@210Nm - after remap it flies like hell and eats even less fuel (ofc until you trash it ). In general i went from 6.3l average to 5.8l. Best thing about remap is fact that now i can use car on much lower RPMs having now same power than before on higher RPM. Internal inter cooler is very nice touch that can be enhanced by external one, swapping turbo to hybrid + a bit intake tweaks (less restrictive air filter can do a lot in this charge system) you can easily hit 180-200+ hp on this small engine.
My only recommendation for all ea211 is to keep higher viscosity oil in car and do not switch to 0W-20 - if you are not living in very specific climate. Engine is running much better on 5W-30 or 0w-30 oils. And ofc change it 10-15k OR 1 year and you are good to go even with those tunes.
We use it as daily car and its awesome. Does not ask for money, runs cheap as hell and withing legal limits, its pretty quick. Strongly recommending also for beginner tuners.
Enjoy!
I'll be doing a specific video for the EA211, there are a few interesting things I've been told that should help people with upgrades on them. Those 1.2 are surprisingly quick aren't they?
@@torquecars looking forward to it. Yes, even at stock, 1.2 TSI EA211 is very swift engine. I wanted to use it later as hobby/street/race car project as we planned to buy something bigger and new, however it is so cheap to run and reliable we do not wanna touch it and still using it as daily, and for family trips we went for old VW Touran 1P 2.0 TDI BMM.
@@gfoy4334 full stock 140hp?
Without donwpipe?
have you had any problems yet?
@@J0NHBG yes full stock measured on same dyno before and after tune. No problems at all. No downpipe
Seat leon fr 1.4tsi chpa tuned.
180.000+ km now and still like a Swiss watch. Absolutely nothing too complain for 10 years
Just chiptune? I have the same engine on sk octavia 3 with 170k km and i was thinking doing a stage 1, but i have the dsg dq200…
1.4 TSI ACT Ibiza (EA211) it's been so good to me :D
Thanks for the support my friend, good to have you aboard. They are great little engines, with so much potential.
my suggestion is, would it be better if you are able to include some images of the mods or parts you are mentioning. Its a great video and info btw. Cheers from malaysia.
Yes I certainly will do in future videos, as I get parts myself and try them out I'll be recording my experiences. Thanks for the suggestion and your support my friend.
Hello, great video. I was wondering, I drive an Audi A3 Etron 1.4 TFSI and planning to go for a stage 2 remap, I just fitted a sport cat and would go with a k&n panel filter. Will I be set with these changes for a stage 2? Or am I missing out on mods in order to keep the car running nicely.
I own a 2008 Touran with the twincharger, 170hp. I was surprised to see how nice the car moves because considering its a pretty big car. I love this little engine. Its formidable IF you take care of it :)
Thanks for sharing and for your support. They are surprisingly agile, it is almost like having two cars, a sporty one and an economical one. Are you planning to do any upgrades on it like remapping?
@@torquecars please don't remap the twincharger. The engines are stock bad enough
@@torquecars ECU Remapped, gearbox remapped and a KN Intake System. I am blown away by the performance and fuel economy. Its been almost a year since the upgrades. It only runs on High Octane fuel. No problems whatsoever.
I have a ea111 I'm looking for about 240hp wat is the best upgrade to make
Good job! Thanks for presentations. I have a Q3 1.4 TFSI CoD manual shift 2016. I own this car since 2021. Any tips and tricks will be appreciated.
Love the video! Id be very curious to see what can be done to the 1.5TSI cos I have one and Id love to make some healthy numbers on the dyno;)
Thanks very much for your info. Just found out your channel. I have a 2006 Golf V 1.4 TSi (BMY) 140 HP. I renovating the engine now and I planned to remap as I understand that the BLG version is just a map difference (nothing physically different). My understanding is that I could change the pulley on the supercharger (you have any specs for this?) and a re-map. My goal was to have at least 170 HP (as the BLG version) or a bit more. Its still a budget car as such so not planning to change any other physical changing (Turbo etc). Thanks for letting me know. I subscribed. Keep up the great work and help you give all of us!
98/100 octane is a must for 150hp+ anything less WILL destroy your OEM pistons....
K03 turbo will push to 200 hp easily(1.2bar max) for more you need hybrid
Simple KN (open/closed or panel) air filter along with proper tune on dyno (rich AFR to reduce knock etc) you can get to 147kw(200hp) no problem
Main issue are pistons since they are made with wrong silicone amount in them they will crack when pushed past 200hp or runnin on low octane.(more power-more heat-pistons material start to crack-End)
Hope it hepls
I have same car so ask if you need more tips
@@pazupazu2781would this also be compatible with a 1.4tfsi 2015 audi a3? i believe it may need to be adapted to fit but would this work?
@@TheTrainArmy I dont think so...
If its 81kw oem A3 you get to 100kw 250nm at best after that you need upgrade turbo,IC unit,air supply...
Mine has an EA211 CZTA, but it has a double warranty because of the TDI programming. So in May 2024 I can start playing with the engine. Am considering the stage 1 maybe stage 1+ software. I am not a wannabe racer, and I like the car and may want to keep it longer. Should I get the heads de-carboned before warranty ends? I have mostly run ethanol-free premium gasoline in this (used some e-10 premium for a couple of months).
Great engines, running 230hp with stock turbo.. only downpipe & chiptuning and DSG.
Which engine is this? CAZA or EA211?
230 bhp will kill the stock turbo.
Mine has a stage 1 at 195 bhp and 325nm,
Stock turbo. Get real.
Mk7.5 GOLF 1.4TSI. 2020 EA211 Gen 2 DGXA (North America).
Big turbo IS20 swapped with a custom adapter kit: Stage 2+JB4 and FBO on E40 fuel mix.
09S 8-speed Tiptronic Auto transmission.
And lots more done, too long to list out. Goal is build motor, perhaps transmission swap, and go for 400+HP
Hey man, I currently have a 2017 1.4TSI (EA211 Gen 1) Jetta with the 5-speed manual. Currently have a custom exhaust, tune, bov, intake, and stage 2 clutch(burnt the old one after 60k miles bc i the tune lol). But I was wondering if I’d be able to take influence from your build for my own engine since mine is the 1st gen. Love your build man! It’s sick🙌🏼
Just watched all your videos on the 1.4tsi I'm thinking of getting the 120bhp engine in a golf or Leon can these be tuned as easily would love to get close to 150-160
Seeing as it has the same EA211 designation does this apply to the 1.5tsi?
I have got a Scirocco with 122hp (CAXA), I'm looking to get an MST intake, exhaust, sport cat if I can find one and a remap someday. how much power could this reliably run? This is my daily and I want to keep it as reliable as I can (which is also why I did not go for the twincharger) I have seen claims of just a remap getting around 155hp and 270nm
My golf gte is doing 247whp on 40% ethanol with a tune more timing and boost goes good with another 100 hp from electric motor probably about 320whp the electric motor is unlocked because it takes 50 hp away in hybrid mode because of all the torque I just tuned the dsg to handle it
Is this with a stock turbo? What are the torque figures? It has the DQ400e DSG which has a torque limit of 400 nM? How did you tune the DSG to "handle it"? I got some info from a Racechip re-seller that the 1.4TSI is on the upper boost limit as it is stock, so adding more boost is not recommended. How long have you driven it tuned? Any reliability issues?
Hey man- I bought golf mk6 1.4 tsi with 118kw. But I believe the engine is not the one registration claims (even though engine number matches)- I think that engine in it is 150HP version used in 2008-2009 tuareg. My question is, is there a way that can surely tell me which version of engine I have (CAVD, BWK etc)
What's the best piggyback tune chip for the 1.4tsi twin charged engine?
I have a 2019 A3 1.4 with 150PS and 184lb/ft, but with DSG, what can I do? Engine wise probably 30hp is possible but DSG wise I'm scared of damaging it being a dry clutch
Is the downpipe worth it for 1.4 tsi twin charged if I want a bit of sound?
I have a 2010 vw golf mk6 estate 1.4 tsi twincharge engine with a stage 1 @ 205hp with 70k miles , no other mods yet , though I'm looking for an air intake and dv for more sound. I'll be happy getting my car to 230-250 hp, the biggest limiting factor on my car is probably the dq200 dsg7 gearbox it's already had a rebuild and clutch pack
Hey, how was the car reliability wise? I’m looking to get the same car but manual, what should I be looking out for?
Hi there - gotten a "P10AD" faultcode on our 2007 mk5 tsi 1.4 golf and all signs point towards faulty clutch on supercharger,, is it possible please someone can confirm this for us? and add any relevant input, would be much appreciated. Also, with regard to upgraded pulleys that are mentioned n this video; are you meaning just the "refreshed" OEM ones or specific performance ones? - thanks again and love your work!
Hi, I have this engine 1.4 TSI EA211 code CZCA 92 kw/125 horses, unfortunately it was offered for damage Rapid only with DSG7 DQ200 (dry double clutch) Many companies do not want to increase the power and torque with regard to the clutch for this combination. what do you think ??

Thanks, i have a 2010 A3 8p stage 1, but i feel like i need more
You'll always want more, I've never met anyone who's said I now have enough power time to stop upgrading things. You will find the first 30% hike is quite cheap and the next 10% will cost double that and the next 10% 3 times as much again. Bear in mind you'll have traction issues on these at around 225hp, which definitely spoils your fun.
Hello, I am planning to but a 2014 Audi A3, which has been driven 98000 KM. I am confused as the badge on the says 1.4T and not 1.4 TSI or TFSI. Is this a different engine ? Also are the Cod engines different or all the TSI and TFSI engine comes with Cylinder on Demand ? Would really appreciate the help as this is first car.
The engines all use direct injection or stratified cylinder injection, so the modernTurbo is assumed to be direct injection and the Stratified Injection SI or Fuel Stratified Injection are just different names for the same thing. VW tend to use TSi and Audi tend to use TFSi.
Not all engines came with Cylinder on Demand. This was mainly on those with a 150hp output and from around 2014 onwards, there are some regional differences. VW call this Cylinder Activation Technology or something like that. At 1400rpm at low load in economy mode the dashboard will show "2 Cylinder Mode" when it cuts in and you might notice the subtle purr from the engine whilst it is running on 2 cylinders.
anyone have any experience with either a revo or apr map on the 1.4 (150) COD engine?
What about the CAXC?
I have vw scirocco 2009 with 1.4 160hp. I want to map it but previous owner said it's preferred not to. I don't know why
Hi, golf 7 ea211 cmba 122 with manual gearbox bere. The current upgrades are, full exhaust supersprint with hjs sport Kat, bmc cotton air filter in the stock air box and remap. Around 160hp. Next i’d like to upgrade turbo with an hybrid turbo like rtmg and change the air box with a direct cold air intake. Now, the question is, is the original manual gearbox MQ 200 flywheel and clutch capables of support something around 300nm? Many thanks
Scirocco 1.4 160 stock here, thinking about a remap now + an intercooler + new exhaust (not a loud one)
Problem is i changed the pistons lately and I'm intending to do a safe power rise
I have a mk7 golf r-line 1.4tsi manual. How can i get it to 190- 200bhp? I find the act technology very frustrating and engine is laggy
Hi all, how does modestly modding your a3 affect your insurance? Is it a large increase? Say between 10%-30%?
0% if you keep a secret 😂
I have a 1.5 tsi (150hp) golf estate. It’s a 67 plate. I use the car for work (tradesman) and social. What can I do to push the 180hp -200hp+ mark.? I want to keep the car as much a sleeper as possible
I’m in a 16 plate octavia estate so pre facelift and a 1.4 but still has 150hp. Although it feels like there’s more. If you really want the extra power then I would go for a re map. Find a good garage local to you with a dyno. For £300 you should get to 180 easily depending on your car.
However maybe running higher fuel has been known to get the car to make 160hp.
I ended up not getting the remap as I felt the car is fast enough for uk roads. In 3rd gear you can keep up with a gti. Golf r estate owner was very surprised the other day. He though I was in a vrs. Above 100 then the 200hp plus cars pull ahead but I want to keep my license.
In the end I got my stock wheels painted black, got some wind deflectors, tinted windows rear only, and a good set of tires on the front.
Next would be door mirrors and front grille in black and then I’m done.
If you want speed I would maybe suggest you consider though the superb estate 220 or 280? 220hp front wheel drive basically a gti or 280hp 4x4 basically a golf r.
Hey man. Nice video. I’ve got a question I wonder if you can answer. I’ve had a 1.4tsi Touran 2014. I think it’s 148bhp. Petrol. I imported it from cyprus to uk when I moved back here. The mpg in colder weather has really dropped (38mpg has gone down to 30 on a highway, and 34mpg has gone down to 23 around town!). I was wondering what advice you could give aside from my light driving style, if there was anything I could do that would increase mpg. I got such a good deal on the car and generally love it so don’t want to switch to diesel if I can avoid it.
Drop a gear when cruising to make sure the engine is at least 1400rpm for the 2 cylinder mode if you have it to cut in and this really adds economy.
Then try to use a max of 2000rpm most of the time, this seems to give me the best economy.
Is the EGR working properly? Do you have an economy mode on your dashboard controls, this will add a little.
Tire air pressures can make a big difference so make sure these are up to the correct levels, and I get better fuel economy from premium fuel, I use Shell Vpower as much as possible.
Run some BG fuel cleaner through and make sure the injectors are as clean as possible.
If the mileage is creeping up you might have carbon build up on the intake which will sap some fuel economy.
@@torquecars thanks so much for the reply! EGR is fine. Its a 1.4tsi DSG which I forgot to mention and I just use it in D mode. It does often hover between 1400 and 1900 on its own as I'm not putting my foot down. There does not appear to be an Economy mode available to this model (however there is on my 2014 Golf 1.6tdi DSG).
I will check out the tyre pressures for sure and try premium unleaded.
Question 1. I've ran the Fuel Cleaner through and have more in the boot. Should this be multiple times in a row, or should it be once every few months for example? (am I wasting my money repeating it on every fill?)
Question 2. Should I consider a remap for MPG or is it only worth it on Diesels?
Ah I'm in the UK so assume everything is a manual!
Some cleaners have very little active ingredients, the one I'm happiest with is BG, this works well and for me is a 20-30,000 mile only requirement. Good quality fuel should already have a fuel injector cleaner in it so that keeps the worst at bay.
A remap will not do much for fuel economy on these engines, it will give a nice power bump and make the car more fun to drive. The gearboxes on those do change at the best point for economy unless you use sport mode, it is hard IMO to improve that.
@@torquecars thank you sir 😎
on that forum u linked in description.
czca is 125 hp version not 122 hp.
czca is with belt.
second thing.
upgrading intake is must go option. even for stg 1.
i got 125 czca engine.
my setup mst turbo elbow, k&n panel, oem box with custom pipe to mst elbow. cover for hot country and open second intake on oem intake plastic.and i isolate air box under where is hot temps from engine.
i got leon fr so i open al restrictions on front bumper and add hg motorsport air baflles.
with monitoring temps on vcds i gain 10-15 degre lower intake temps in mainfold, and faster spol of turbo. and some noise.
i remove resonator and go with 55mm till back box. oem is 50mm from resonator to back box.
i try bolt on 150hp czda turbo and i got lot lag. so bigger turbo is no go for that engine. better to buy rtmg hybrid of smaler 125 hp turbo and go with it.
or option is to stay on smaler turbo, 200cell downpipe and u will see 200hp+
air intercooler is also no go becouse of lag.
alternative option is vmi meth injection like i got or separate oem wather ic from water engine loop.
use oil ic mounted in front of bumper separate water pump (like oem electric pump. and conect to oem ic in mainfold)
clutch on 125 can handle up to 310nm becouse is mq200 gearbox.
150hp got mq250 gearbox and can handle up to 370 nm max.
sachs got clutch that can add up to 15-20% tourq depend of gearbox.
im now on tvs stg 3 with aem wmi meth. 50/50 mix
biger 150 turbo. but im loking to get rtmg 240rs turbo, hjs 200 cel downpipe and sachs performance clutch. becouse in colder temps i got sliping in 4, 5, 6 gears. im ower 300nm.
Great advice and thank you so much for the feedback. I have a few questions I'm currently grappling with you might be able to add your experience here.
Which model did your water IC upgrade come from? Did it make a big difference? Was it easy to install?
What do you think the power limits are for the standard fuel system on these? The dual VVT spools up the larger turbos better so it makes sense you'll get lag, I never appreciated this but this is the sort of thing someone needs to try out.
I have made a few updates to the article now, but will revisit this, I'm investigating exhausts and cats at the moment and a few other things which I need to verify. I'll also rewrite the section on intercoolers but still have some questions I'm grappling with.
@@torquecars power limits are up to around 240 hp. over 240 hp need bigger injectors.
czda turbo is bigger i got all measures intake and exit side i can writen it.
u feel that lag and it is big in low rpms.
i dont have ic upgraded, only isoate air box from high temps and open all posible air intake from bumper and all plastic. but i got aem wmi meth so i lower air temps and egt beside all other mods even more.
i have a stock 2008 a3 sline tying to figure out what upgrade to do after i get my new gearbox installed

I would love to see where and who is regrinding cams shafts profiling for any EA221, they are pressed in from factory, you cant remove them.
Please accept my sincere apologies for this confusion. I wanted this to be a general video to cover all of the 1.4TFSi engines including the twincharged EA111, EA211 and EA221. This is an obvious difference between the engines.
I wasn't actually aware of this fact on the EA221, I thought the cams could be changed. There will be a dedicated EA211 and EA221 video coming up when I've got all of the options sorted and facts narrowed down. I really appreciate your input.
I do want a performance cam in mine EA211 so I guess my only option if I cant get one is to swap the head. I wonder if the EA111 head will fit.... Or did this change only on the EA221?
By the way for those wondering RTMG, Piper and Kent offer regrind services for the EA111 cams.
@@torquecars hello, the EA111 engine is chain driving and the EA221 is belt driving.
If you ever got a problem in your camshaft assembly is basicly a new engine cover with cams.
That's crazy isn't it, they call it progress though. Thanks for this tip. Anything else I should be aware of that they have changed with this revision from a tuning point of view?
I have a twin charge07 golf with no compression played 8000 cash lasted 1 hour don't know what to do can u help with some gidence
What do you mean by no compression? Zero compression measured in the cylinders? This could be the piston rings gone, or a serious head problem. Did you buy from a dealer or private? Which country are you in as different laws apply? Did it run then stop on you or just not start again?
Is the 122hp basically the same as 140hp / 150hp? Just different electronics?
I think they had a different turbo, probably the TD02 but I'll check this, I'll need to get this all ironed out for my next video. What year is the 122hp version you are asking about?
@@torquecars 2014 with a belt
If it is the ea211 versions, they have different turbos, and i think the crankshaft is forged on the 150hp

Here in brazil we are extract arround 300whp of those engines, with dsg
What about the reliability of the EA211 evo?
They just got better and better with each revision IMHO. I am currently working on videos specific to the EA211 onwards. I find that most people search for "1.4 TFSi" which is annoying when there are so many revisions and versions, so the first videos I have put up (this Mods one & the Problems one) were primarily aimed at the early ones, but still 80% relevant to later ones. The early models included the EA111 twincharger which was groundbraking but had a fair few issues.
I personally have a 2015 1.4 TFSi and have had no problems at all with it. It is fair to say upgrades are somewhat limited on the newer revisions as camshafts were pressed into the head and I don't think the aftermarket turbos have caught up with it yet.
@@torquecars Thanks for the detailed reply, sounds awesome and awaiting for your videos on that area! subbed!
Cheers buddy, thanks for the support and encouragement.
Best 1.4tsi is 132kw
I JUST GOT MY 2015 1.4TFSI 2015 MODEL
i got vw 1.4 tsi supercharger... had for over 3 years and car has been sweet. noticed white smoke and coolant leak in car today. not sure what issue is.... 1st time anything like this has happened
Sorry to hear that. What do you mean by coolant leak? Is there white mayonnaise under the oil cap? Could be a head gasket, did it overheat recently? ua-cam.com/video/gaKuuU7IndU/v-deo.html
@@torquecars literally 'coolant' has leaked from the car. no white substances under oil cap. so im thankful about that.
@@torquecars all happened this morning
Could be the water pump then this is quite common, try to determine the location of the leak, it could just be a simple gasket that has gone or split water pump housing. Are temps shooting up when you drive it?
@@torquecars yh temp is on rise when i start it.
Hey does anyone know where is 2009 Audi a3 1.4tfsi Pcv valve?
I searched on internet couldn’t find anything:(😢
Look for the pipe which connects the top of the engine to the air intake and follow it back towards the engine, the PCV is at the end of this yellow brick road on the engine end.
@@torquecars thank you 🙏🏾
Golf 7 the gear box does not last for long why
Can this apply to the 1.2 TSI
Mostly, yes, they are very similar in design and construction. The block and many components are shared between these models. The turbo specs may well be different for a lower CC engine. I will focus a video on the 1.2 TSi in the future and have added this to my production list. What year do you have?
@@torquecars I have a 2017 Seat Ibiza FR 1.2 TSI haven’t touched engine mods yet but looking into it
Wat is the best turbo upgrade for my vw golf mk5 2007 BLG 1.4tsi ea111
You should do your research a bit better on the intake system, because there is a restriction on the EA211 engines.
Where is the restriction? I have the 1.4 tfsi cod 150
2018 JETTA S 1.4
Anyone else here trying to fix an EPC light? 😂
